Color Throwdown #117

DSCF4824

Happy Wednesday!  I couldn’t help but play the CTD today, because the colors were so happy!  What do you think?

I put on some Christmas music and broke open my new SU set, Jolly Old Saint Nick, to make a quick little easel card:

He’s stamped in Stazon and colored with Craft White and a blender pen, using Marina Mist to shade him.  The 3D snowflakes are from the Northern Frost diecut strip----LOVE them---and the stamped snowflakes on the Marina Mist card are from the hostess set, Northern Hearts.  Everything is liberally sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds!  TFL!

And here’s a peek at my little sweetie pie:

Love how you used the colors for a Christmas card! I'm also astounded at how you colored your snowman with white craft ink, a blender pen, and did the shading with Marina Mist! How clever is that?! I had no idea you could use craft ink with blender pens to color on cs. You always manage to teach me something new!!

Thanks for sharing the absolutely adorable pics of Cassidy! She could brighten the darkest of days with that smile and those big, brown eyes that I'm thinking she picked up from gramma ♥
